~ Newly Renovated June 2025 ~ Private One-Acre Campsite Near the Beach Enjoy a peaceful and affordable escape just minutes from Lake Huron with this one-acre private campsite in Au Gres, Michigan. When you book, you get the entire property to yourself—no other campers. The space is clearly marked with pink boundary flags and includes three roomy areas perfect for pitching tents, parking an SUV, or setting up a small campervan. Pop-up campers can fit, but space is tight and better for simple setups. The front of the property is grassy and open, while the rear features a wooded section with a short walking path. Behind the site is a larger wooded parcel that isn’t part of the Hipcamp, but it adds to the secluded, natural feel. Just a 4–5 minute walk brings you to a quiet public access point to Lake Huron. The road dead-ends at private homes, and between them is a public footpath to the beach. Before the shoreline, you'll find a small 20-yard-wide wooded area where our guests can set up chairs and enjoy the view—feel free to walk beyond to the sandy beach as well. A photo of this spot is included in the listing. While the campsite isn’t totally secluded—there are a few nearby homes and occasional daytime traffic—you’ll still enjoy full privacy on your acre with room to unwind, make a fire, and relax under the stars. This spot is best for couples or small groups looking for a low-key beach getaway close to nature and just 10 minutes from the shops and restaurants of Au Gres and Tawas City.

Electrical outlets are available to charge phones in an outbuilding if needed. We have two porta potties and a hose shower. We have a flock of about 20 friendly pet ducks and geese that travel the property. You may feed them frozen green peas if you would enjoy that but nothing else please.

~ Newly Renovated June 2025 ~ Private One-Acre Campsite Near the Beach Enjoy a peaceful and affordable escape just minutes from Lake Huron with this one-acre private campsite in Au Gres, Michigan. When you book, you get the entire property to yourself—no other campers. The space is clearly marked with pink boundary flags and includes three roomy areas perfect for pitching tents, parking an SUV, or setting up a small campervan. Pop-up campers can fit, but space is tight and better for simple setups. The front of the property is grassy and open, while the rear features a wooded section with a short walking path. Behind the site is a larger wooded parcel that isn’t part of the Hipcamp, but it adds to the secluded, natural feel. Just a 4–5 minute walk brings you to a quiet public access point to Lake Huron. The road dead-ends at private homes, and between them is a public footpath to the beach. Before the shoreline, you'll find a small 20-yard-wide wooded area where our guests can set up chairs and enjoy the view—feel free to walk beyond to the sandy beach as well. A photo of this spot is included in the listing. While the campsite isn’t totally secluded—there are a few nearby homes and occasional daytime traffic—you’ll still enjoy full privacy on your acre with room to unwind, make a fire, and relax under the stars. This spot is best for couples or small groups looking for a low-key beach getaway close to nature and just 10 minutes from the shops and restaurants of Au Gres and Tawas City.

Great spot if you are looking to get away from city noise and lights. Heard nothing but nature. Dennis was quick to respond. Dennis came to check in with us and ask if we needed anything shortly after arriving. If you like coney dogs, stop at the coney trailer in Sanford. We will be back.

The host greeted me on arrival while filling water dishes for dogs along the drive - very cool. He pointed out walking paths and made sure I had his number. You drive nearly a mile into the woods to reach the site — total privacy and solitude, 10/10. Quietest spot I’ve camped at all year. Any distant sounds are rare, brief, and far off. Most of the time, it’s completely silent — even wildlife was minimal when I stayed. You can turn in a full circle and see nothing manmade except the picnic table. No people, wires, lights — just woods. Site is shaded with some sunlight, has a solid picnic table, a well-placed firepit, and a generous stack of firewood. This site would be perfect for anyone looking to fully unplug, be alone, or just enjoy the silence.

I had a very relaxing time tent camping on Dennis’s site. Very remote for those looking for complete alone time. I felt safe the whole time which is important for any solo campers. There is a clearing by the site for fantastic star gazing, plenty of wood for fires and a nice picnic table. Lots and lots of bugs and black flies, so bring the DEET and I had success with some insect repellent incense sticks I placed around. I highly recommend this site for anyone looking to be off the grid for a bit. Thank you, Dennis.
